Friendship
Nothing alike
As different as possible
But for one unwavering trait
Knowledge of the better angels
Preconception is a myth of the cynic
Acceptance and understanding is the
Grace of all true love and friendship
Closeness is not about proximity
When you stand by a friend
It is always about belief
Thank you friends
For believing
In me
Wow…. no truer words spoken. I was just contemplating my closest friends over the years. One died here suddenly – fairly young – leaving us all to reminisce and appreciate the true value of friendship. It is not proximity but all about acceptance, understanding and belief in the other. Very well done.
This little gem is a splendid way to begin my day.
I love this poem. So, true what you say about proximity…it isn’t that at all. Closeness is an obscure cord that binds the hearts of friends. You don’t even realize that it is there sometimes. It only takes a word, a look, a smile to make the cord reverberate with all the warmth and love that manifest the initial binding. That’s what your poem did for me today. I love you, my friend and I miss you. I hope that you are happy and peaceful in your little corner of the cosmos.
